Purpose of the annual New York City management visit is to give the Sloan fellows first- hand insight into problems of policy formation, management and control at top executive officer levels.

The Sloan Program was started in 1931 and is financed, in part, by the companies the fellows represent jand, in part, by the Alfred P. Sloan Foundation ,ccompanying the Sloan tel-| llows on the trip are two Sloan teaching Fellows-William T Newell, assistant professor the College of Business Admini- |stration at the University of |Washington, Seattle, and Sidney R.
